So I'm not really sure if this is the best place for this post but also want advice on whether I'm being U.
We have lived in our house for almost a year and it's time to talk about whether we're staying. Me and DH do want to stay but the letting agent charges £90 as an "admin fee" for resigning a 12 month contract. We have asked for a rolling month on month contract to avoid fees but also so we aren't tied in if we want to move on at any point.
The agent did not notify us of the fee until last week which I feel is a bit sly as it wasn't discussed when we moved in.
They put our suggestion to the landlords who said they want a 12 month contract but also want to put up the rent by £10 a month.
Now I know £10 doesn't seem a lot but when you add it all up that's £210 in unforeseen rent costs for the year and we've had tonnes of maintainance issues with the property that both landlord and agent have really dragged their feet on getting done and I feel like calling their bluff and saying no that's not acceptable.
Am I being just stroppy/should I just accept it or do I have a leg to stand on here? Any people with experience of this to offer me some advice?
